This filing marks a significant operational milestone for Elemental Royalty Corp, as its 2.0% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty on the Chapi Copper Project transitions from a development-stage asset to a revenue-generating one. The successful first production of copper cathode by operator Quilla Resources Inc., achieved within schedule and budget, de-risks this asset and validates the operator's execution capabilities. The anticipated first royalty payment in Q1 2026 will contribute to Elemental's cash flow, reinforcing its portfolio of producing assets. This positive development adds to the company's recent strategic activities, including a credit facility expansion and a new dividend policy.
